Triton Regional School District is committed to the development of students as a whole person. We value social emotional learning and embed this learning in all that we do.
CASEL is the leader in SEL. We utilize the CASEL model to determine interventions.
Take a look and see what is happening across the district to support our students.
In 2022-2023 Triton Regional School District hired SEL Educator, Julie Benson to work with all of the elementary schools. Julie taught students SEL utilizing the CASEL SELect curriculum, Promoting Alternative Thinking Strategies (PATHS) in grades K-5 and the “middle school” component, Emozi, in grade 6. These resources achieved the Collaborative for Academic, Social, and Emotional Learning (CASEL) highest rating and PATHS is evidenced to reduce emotional distress, reduce problem behaviors, and improve school climate, school connectedness and social behaviors. This is a Tier I program, which means all elementary students will participate in this curriculum.

In 2022-2023 the freshman class will have the opportunity to take a mental health literacy class through the Mental Health Collaborative (MHC). According to MHC, mental health literacy is the knowledge and understanding that helps us become responsible, effective and successful in living full and healthy lives. With good mental literacy we learn how to take better care of ourselves, our loved ones, and our communities.
